La Grenouille, Frozen in Time, Now Serves Fancy Food From a Chinese Chain | Eater NY

"A China-rooted Peking duck house that has moved into the long-standing Upper East Side dining room, offering about 80 seats and deliberately preserving much of the space's old ambiance while introducing a distinctly Chinese menu and history. The operator traces its origins to an 1864 founding in China and runs roughly 50 locations there, with only one other North American outpost; the new owner also operates a location in Vancouver. Signature offerings center on the Quanjude Signature Beijing Duck (priced at $128) and an elevated caviar-topped version ($268), alongside extravagant plates such as an Indonesian bird’s nest with malva nut ($98) and a 24-inch sea cucumber ($88)." - Melissa McCart
